    Looking for someone to pick up and ship a BAFV to me.


    PM to discuss details

    Was hoping to either send a label (if I can figure out how, never done it before) or send some beer if you pay the shipping of BAFV to me?

    It's customary (and you'll likely get more traction) to send TY beers and pay for the label since the proxy is providing a favor. A lot to ask someone to pick it up for nothing or need to pay shipping in order to get TY beers.

    Being from IA, it's customary that you send 1 bottle of Assassin :slight_smile:.

    Pirateship.com is my go to. I have yet to find cheaper rates anywhere and it is really easy to use.

    Yeah, I see that posted a lot. But after spending whatever if may be ($45 in this case) for a beer, then pay shipping twice and the price of thank you beers, it ends up being a lot more. I know it’s an expensive hobby, but figured it’s a community. People can help each other out. In these proxy situations, I feel like if they’re willing to proxy, they aren’t far away and have time to do it. It’s because the person is kind and not necessarily getting anything out of it. If I can’t find someone willing, I get it.

    I just made an 8 hour round trip drive a couple weeks ago to get my Fuzzy purchase. I picked up three other local guys stuff and a BA members. He was willing to pay his shipping and send ty beers but I told him I’d pay shipping on his. Maybe dumb but I wasn’t trying to win on the situation. Just like helping people out.
